A fuel leak at Dulles International Airport is cleaned up Friday. Around 10:45 a.m., 50 gallons of fuel leaked onto the tarmac during a test of the airport’s underground fuel system. Airport fire teams quickly closed off six gates in the C and D concourses to clean up the spill. The gates have since reopened. Earlier, the Airport Authority advised fliers to check with their airline to see if their flight was delayed.

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which opens by Dec. 31, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. Some states now make completing the FAFSA a high school graduation requirement. The U.S. Department of Education awarded about $111.6 billion in federal grants, loans and work-study funds in fiscal year 2022, according to the most recent Federal Student Aid annual report. Those federal funds will assist roughly 9.8 million students in completing their education.
